My guest this week is James Owen Roberts.
James is the founder and CEO of James Owen Roberts Coaching, a Performance & Success Coach and creator of The AIM System, host of The Mindset Athlete Podcast, TEDx speaker and author with over 15 years of experience in exercise, diet and mindset as a coach, 2 x Paralympic athlete and alum of both Swansea University and the University of Chester.
James was born without a femur bone. An absent femur bone, along with a small tibia and fibula bone that was first misdiagnosed as hip dysplasia. James options in life appeared to be pretty limited. Even his own grandmother questioned how he would navigate through life.
Nonetheless, James would become an able-bodied swimmer for a Belgian swimming club before switching to disability sports in 2003. James joined the British Swimming's Potential Squad, before being dropped. He then took-up competitive rowing at the behest of the Performance Director at Disability Sport in Wales. Although initially reluctant, James went on to compete in 3 world championships and finished 5th at the Beijing Paralympics.
A man of many talents, James' story is one that both inspiring and informative.
Listen. Learn. Enjoy!
